Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemy of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 100 The Curse of Delay

Everyone was captivated by Professor Rochel's words, and they all sat upright, staring at him intently.

However, Alan flipped through the textbook and whispered to Riel, "Strange, this doesn't seem to be the first chapter." ”

"Well, I thought I missed it because I didn't read it carefully...... Actually, I don't see any 'pause' either. Riel said a little embarrassed.

It took a while for Alan to finally find the spell in the catalog, but it was in chapter seven.

"As I'm used to in the past, I won't teach you any magic in the first class. Professor Rochelle looked excited, "Because the basic theory part of this course is quite complex and detailed, and it takes a lot of time and effort to get you to have a more thorough understanding of this course." Originally, I planned to spend two classes to guide and explain...... But I was really surprised by your performance, so I changed my mind on the fly. ”

"I see. Alan whispered to himself.

"Then please take a closer look...... Since the Slow Time Charm doesn't consume a lot of mana, and it has a few side effects, I'm just going to show you this one. Professor Rochelle began to pace up and down the podium as he spoke, carefully calculating the distance he had traveled.

He walked to the corner of the classroom and stopped, took out his wand, pointed it to the ground, and read in circles around the podium: "All beings are travelers, drifting together on this never-ending river, but no one can be my companion forever." I am blessed by the god of time to have my own time. Maybe it's a year, maybe it's a day, but in the eyes of others, it's just a moment. ”

Then I saw that a faintly colored, mist-like magic net began to spread out from the place he had just walked, slowly enveloping the entire podium from the bottom up, and in a few moments, even his whole person was gone, and the position that should have been the podium was completely replaced by a hemispherical magic area.

There was a noise in the classroom, and people were talking about what it was.

A few students who were relatively close to the podium couldn't suppress their curiosity, and slowly approached the magic net, reached out and touched it, only to find that their hands could also pass through it, and they also disappeared into the magic area.

"What is this?" asked Riel.

Alan shook his head slightly, stared at it carefully for a long time, and then said, "If you just look at the shape, this seems to be an enchantment. ”

However, Professor Rochel did not disappear for long, and after only about a minute, a "poof" was heard, and as a faint cloud of smoke rose, the entire magic net disappeared, and the podium reappeared.

"That's the effect of the Temporal Curse. Professor Rochel also reappeared, smiling.

The classroom began to talk again, each looking carefully for what Professor Rochelle called "effect".

"Nothing seems to have happened...... "Rare scratched his head and stared at the podium for a long time, "Isn't this still the same?"

However, Alan immediately noticed that something was different, shook his head, and his expression was quite surprised: "Look at the blackboard." ”

"On the blackboard?" Riel looked at the blackboard with a stomach full of doubts, only to realize that it was indeed different.

"Oh my God!" called Riel quietly.

I saw that a large amount of text suddenly appeared on the blackboard where only the chapter name and a few nouns were written, and I didn't know what was written.

Alan lifted his glasses and whispered: The Slow Time Spell uses the unique magic of time and space properties to create a special time barrier, in this enchantment, time will become quite slow for you, and you can compress an hour, a day, or even longer into this time area according to your needs, and then slowly pass it. However, it only works on those who are inside the barrier, and to those outside the barrier, no matter how long you stay inside, it is just a momentary occurrence.

"Fake, right?!" Riel didn't believe it.

"No......" Alan nodded seriously, "He has only disappeared for less than a minute, do you think he can write such a long paragraph on the blackboard in such a short time?"

"Oh my God...... That means ......"

"It's true. ”

At this time, the other people in the classroom also noticed that there seemed to be something on the blackboard, and they all looked at it carefully, and within a while, the classroom exploded.

"As I wrote on the blackboard, the Slow Time Charm is magic with this magical power. Professor Rochelle waved his hand, signaled to be quiet, and then said slowly: "I spent nearly half an hour in it just now, and in addition to writing this paragraph, I also had a good rest for a while. ”

There was another wave of amazement in the classroom.

"It's not complicated to use this magic, you just need to walk around the area where you want to build an enchantment, mark it with your magic at the same time, and recite the incantation. Professor Rochelle began to explain slowly, "But be careful, this spell is a bit long, don't be mistaken...... And be sure to keep the pace of speech in mind to make sure that the chanting ends almost at the same time as the spell is cast. ”

"The reason I chose to teach you this spell today is that time magic doesn't require a picture build like space magic, and it's relatively easy to cast. And this magic may be of great use to you, especially to you at this stage. "It can help you create extra time for rest, study, think, make plans, or plan when you can, but only for those who are in the enchantment." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Rare in a whisper.

In other words, this is a special time barrier, for those who are in the barrier, they can control the total amount of time in the barrier at will, and no matter how long you spend in the barrier, it will only seem like a blink of an eye to people outside the barrier. Alan explained quickly and quietly to Rare.

"And what if you stay in the enchantment and don't come out?" Riel scratched his head, "For example, if you stay inside for decades, it will only seem to the people outside for a moment, and when you come out, the people outside will still be the same, but haven't you become an old man......"

"Impossible. Alan smiled, "It takes quite a bit of mana to maintain an enchantment, and the amount of mana consumed per second is calculated based on the time inside the enchantment, so you can't stay in it all the time." ”

"That's right......" Riel nodded.

"And, who would be stupid enough to allow themselves to grow old so quickly. Alan laughed again.

But as soon as he said this, he realized that something was wrong: if the time spent by people in the barrier was different from the time spent by others, then where did that time come from?

Remembering the side effects that Professor Rochelle had mentioned, Alan looked at him quizzically and raised his hand.

"What's your problem?" Professor Rochelle was about to continue, when he suddenly saw someone raise his hand.

"Professor, I have a question...... Allen frowned, "as far as I know, everything has its origin, including time. And where did that extra time in the enchantment come from?"

Professor Rochelle looked quite surprised when he heard this question, and stared at Alan carefully for a few moments before asking, "What's your name?"

"Uh, Alan Paterner. ”

"Putna-san, plus five points!" Professor Rochelle said decisively, then waved his hand for Alan to sit down.

Alan was also a little surprised, and he didn't know why, but he suddenly got extra points just by asking a question.

"Good question!" said Professor Rochelle, looking a little excited, "for the first time in many years that someone has offered to raise this issue before I have even spoken about it!

"As you said, everything has its origin, even time...... This is the 'side effect' I just mentioned. Professor Rochelle stared at Alan carefully and said, "So, where did the extra time in this enchantment come from compared to the others? Is it really a generous gift from the God of Time?"

Hearing this, the classroom fell silent.

"Apparently not!" Professor Rochelle said, "Time is fair for everyone, even if it's an extra time for you...... Because you are in this time barrier, while enjoying the convenience that this time brings you, you are also getting older faster than others...... Do you know what I mean?"

The classroom began to hear the sound of rustling, and Alan suddenly realized when he heard this.

"What do you mean?" Riel was confused.

Alan looked at him and was about to explain, but Professor Rochel's voice had already sounded again: "In other words, this period of time that seems to be exclusive and free for you is actually a part of your future life, and you just summoned this time in advance to use it now, and the price is that you will age faster than others!"

"That's right...... Alan nodded, looking at Rare, "In other words, this magic isn't really slowing down time, but it's making you advance the future." ”

Riel shuddered suddenly, as if he had imagined that he had been in this barrier for a long time, and as soon as he came out, he was already gray-haired.

"So here I would like to remind you......" Professor Rochelle said, glancing solemnly at everyone in the room, "this magic is convenient in many cases, but it must not be abuse......d! Please cherish every minute and second of your life!"
